The lateral conversion in the heart of Kensington, spanning two grand period terrace properties had an awkward layout, but abundance of attractive features like a high stucco ceiling and a large terrace. The installation of fire suppression system allowed for the existing fire lobby to be removed and the careful rearranging of the plan visually connected the grand reception with the kitchen and provided two attractive bedrooms each with a bathroom and clever storage for an uncluttered look.
